2018 XLT 3.5EB 4x4
Hello everyone. So I thought I would start a build thread for ole betty.
I picked her up in late 2017 and love it so far. I was coming from a Nissan Xterra, so the added room and power were some of the main points in convincing myself I needed a new vehicle. As of now it wont be much of a 'build' per say but all bolt on items. but browsing this forum daily, who knows where it will go! It will be 90% daily driver and the other 10% will be some light off roading for fishing, camping, hunting and ill have too find some good trails.
Done
- Spray in box liner
- wheel well liners
- ford floor mats
- Lomax tonneau
- Bridgestone Blizaks 275/65/18 (winter set)

Got the final piece today, but The truck is having some warranty work done on the IWE (hopefully within the next week or two) so I’m just going too wait till it’s fixed before I install the new setup.

Bilstein’s are on! Feels way better driving it now! I put it up 1.5 in the front (fourth slot) - I haven’t had it out on anything but pavement yet. It feels alot more solid and planted, not spongy at all. One spot on my drive home I used too always get some rear end hop, nothing this time just absorbed it and kept on truckin. So I’ll post a better review later of my thoughts on the 6112 and 5160’s. (Few months) also got my wheels in today 👍🏼 Still debating tires. Flip flop everyday. KO2’s, Ridge grapplers, duratrac, open country RT’s - lots of winter left so I still have a few months with the blizzaks.

How much did the front come up, did you happen to take a measurement?
